Was Mark Seidenberg the fellow who registered a land claim to part of Wrangel Island at an Alaskan Land Office and then sued Kissinger for signing away American claims to that island? Wrangel Island was a part of the Gulag where heroic Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg is said to have been imprisoned as late as 1962.
Yes, that's the guy. For years, he was a thorn in the side of the State Department. He was very active in YAF, and a few years ago, he tried to get on the board that runs the Auto Club. He's still active in conservative causes.
The stories of Gulags and Wallenberg on Wrangel Island are likely urban legends. However, having known Seidenberg, I have learned a lot about the island, and the fact that we did nothing after the Soviets seized it in 1924 is the one beef I have against the Coolidge administration.
